Charlie and the Fudge Factory

Now that Florida Gov.Charlie Crist is rumored to be on Juan McCain's short list for veep, people are starting to talk about the gay thing again.

This time it comes from a Broward-Palm Beach New Times.

Some dude talked to the owner of a bar called the Green Iguana. The owner claims that back in the 90's, Crist used to frequent the bar, hang out with gay dudes, and totally flame out after his 3rd Mint Julep:

When I got Rick Calderoni, the bar's well-known owner, on the phone, I expected him to stonewall me about it.

He didn't.

Calderoni, who is gay, confirmed that Crist came into his bar quite often and that the two of them became friends.

Getting to the point, I asked him if he knew Crist to be gay.

"Yes," he answered bluntly. "I just wish he would come out and admit it. That would be a great thing if he did."

I asked Calderoni if he was certain that Crist is gay. He told me that Crist socialized with a gay clique of friends but conceded that he'd never actually seen Crist become intimate with another man.

So how can he be sure Crist is gay?

"The way he acted," Calderoni said.

How did he act?

Calderoni laughed and said, "Very feminine."

The rest of the story kinda gets boring. I started paying attention again when the writer actually called Bill Clinton a poonhound. It still makes me giggle.

Anywho, if Crist really is gay, then he's a fucking Judas.

Ethics Committee Doesn't Heart Nasty, Naughty Larry Craig

Yesterday, the Washington Donkey Show Sentate Ethics Committee admonished the Idaho Bathroom Goblin for his totally hetero bathroom adventure:

In a letter signed by all six members of the Senate Select Committee on Ethics, the members affirmed the initial guilty plea to disorderly conduct that Craig signed after an undercover officer in the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport arrested him in a men's room sex sting.

"The committee accepts as proven your guilty plea and all matter set forth in your guilty plea," the letter read.

In the official ruling, the senators also cast doubt on Craig's later pleas of innocence after news of his arrest first surfaced.

"Your claims to the court, through counsel, to the effect that your guilty plea resulted from improper pressure or coercion, or that as a legal matter, know what you were doing when you pled guilty, do not appear credible," the letter said.


No worries, Larry. You could always pursue your culinary career.
